1948 Bowman Football Cards Checklist & Values
1948 Bowman Football takes it's place in the early history of football cards.
While not as flashy as the 1935 National Chicles football issue the 1948
Bowman Football set had great players in real photographs !
The set was tiny (in both card size and number of cards) containing only
108 smallish 2-1/16" x 2-1/2" inch cards. The honor of top rookie in the
set is easily Sammy Baugh and there appear to be no variations in the set.

Baseball card collecting terms (part G)
Grade/Condition Centering, corner wear, photo clarity, edges,
creases, print flaws ... all combine to determine a card's condition or grade.
Along with rarity/scarcity it is the major factor in a card's value.
Graded Card As values increased the condition of cards and the
determination of fakes and alterations became increasingly more important.
Various companies became "graders" of your cards. For a fee they would grade
your card (usually on a 1 to 10 scale) and then placed in a sealed plastic
holder with labelling of the vital information.
From past experiences, most people are NOT HAPPY with the grades they receive.
To keep values up, graders can be extremely picky. Things you don't see,
they do so don't be surprized when the NEAR MINT card you send in ends up
with an EX or EX/MINT grade.
There are TOO many grading companies - if you do, do choose carefully.
PSA / SGC / GAI / BGS are some of the many companies.
It is good to know that getting a card graded by a company that people
do not recognize or respect will usually just cost you time and money
and not help you in any way.
